Blog post: Embedded Software: Disruptions Ahead - Why Java makes sense

All,
You may be interested in this blog post I did two days ago, which talks about the challenges in embedded software design and why Java makes sense for embedded software engineering:

Which Mac Pro? More cores=slower speeds? And most of us know the speed matters or FPU for music and I don't understand the faster is for the least amount of procs. And while I get the whole rendering thing and why it makes sense.

The above is what the bar says. It's been a while and wondered, maybe Apple changed the format for forums. Then got this nice big blank canvas to air my concerns. Went to school for Computer Science, BSEE, even worked at Analog Devices in Newton Massachusetts, where they make something for apple.
The bottom line is fast CPU = more FPU = more headroom and still can't figure out why the more cores= the slower it gets unless it's to get us in to a 6 core then come out with faster cores down the road or a newer Mac that uses the GPU. Also. Few. I'm the guy who said a few years ago Mac has an FCP that looks like iMovie on Steroids. Having said that I called the campus one day to ask them something and while I used to work for Apple, I think she thought I still did as she asked me, "HOW ARE THE 32 CORES/1DYE COMING ALONG? Not wanting to embarrass her I said fine, fine and then hung up. Makes the most sense as I never quite got the 2,6,12 cores when for years everything from memory to CPU's have been, in sets of 2 to the 2nd power. 2,4,8,16,32,64,120,256,512, 1024, 2048,4196,8192, 72,768. Wow. W-O-W and will be using whatever I get with Apollo Quad.
Peace to all and hope someone can point us in THE RIGHT DIRECTION. THANK YOU

Thanks for your reply via email/msg. He wrote:
If you are interested in the actual design data for the Xeon processor, go to the Intel site and the actual CPU part numbers are:
Xeon 4 core - E5.1620v2
Xeon 6 core - E5.1650v2
Xeon 8 core - E5.1680v2
Xeon 12 core - E5.2697v2
I read that the CPU is easy to swap out but am sure something goes wrong at a certain point - even if solderedon they make material to absorb the solder, making your work area VERY clean.
My Question now is this, get an 8 core, then replace with 2 3.7 QUAD CHIPS, what would happen?
I also noticed that the 8 core Mac Pro is 3.0 when in fact they do have a 3.4 8 core chip, so 2 =16? Or if correct, wouldn't you be able to replace a QUAD CHIP WITH THAT? I;M SURE THEY ARE UO TO SOMETHING AS 1) WE HAVE SEEN NO AUDIO FPU OR PERHAPS I SHOULD CHECK OUT PC MAKERS WINDOWS machines for Sisoft Sandra "B-E-N-C-H-M-A-R-K-S" -
SOMETHINGS UP AND AM SURE WE'LL ALL BE PLEASED, AS the mac pro was announced Last year, barely made the December mark, then pushed to January, then February and now April.
Would rather wait and have it done correct than released to early only to have it benchmarked in audio and found to be slower in a few areas- - - the logical part of my brain is wondering what else I would have to swap out as I am sure it would run, and fine for a while, then, poof....
PEACE===AM SURE APPLE WILL BLOW US AWAY - they have to figure out how to increase the power for 150 watts or make the GPU work which in regard to FPU, I thought was NVIDIA?

Customize blog post display in Share Point 2013 in Cloud

Hi,
I am trying to modify look of the blog post (single post entry), but running into issues.
This is the full scenario I am trying to accomplish:
I have custom content type that extends post with few fields that I need in order to pull specific post entries on different pages(this is not an issue).
I have Yes/No field for post in the blog to allow or disallow comments.
If the check box is set to No I don't want to display anything that would have to do with the comments.
Idea is to use overrideCtx but in order to be able to check the value of the Yes/No column I need to add it to the Current View, this is where the problem starts.
Any time I modify the current view and add a field the title and body of the post entry are no longer displayed on the page and there is no way for me to change it back.
Anybody has any ideas why is this happening, or was trying to do something simillar?
Thanks
Brano

Unfortunately the javascript (example above) didn't work for me.
What I end up doing is (separate js so the code can be changed and reused for multiple blog sites) and reference it in the Content Editor:
(function () {
var overrideCtx = {};
overrideCtx.Templates = {};
overrideCtx.Templates.Fields = {'Body':{'View': CBody}};
SPClientTemplates.TemplateManager.RegisterTemplateOverrides(overrideCtx);
function CBody(ctx) {
var items = ctx.CurrentItem;
var ret = ctx.CurrentItem.Body;
if(ctx.CurrentItem['AllowPost'] == 'Yes'){
_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("hideComments");
return ret;
function hideComments(){
//look for elements with specific IDs and Classes to hide
I am wondering if there is shorter way so I don't have to call _spBodyOnLoad so it doesn't add too much overhead
If anyone know better way let me know?
Thanks

OT: The Dreamweaver team's blog post about the Dreamweaver modernization effort

Hi all,
The Dreamweaver team has shared its thoughts on the rationale behind changes in Dreamweaver CC in its blog post http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2013/06/a-look-at-the-modernized-dreamweaver-cc.html. The blog post also touches upon what's ahead while providing alternatives to some of the older features that did not make it to Dreamweaver CC.
The team has taken into account feedback from several quarters before formulating a reply. I thank all of you on this forum who have provided us with inputs and constructive feedback to help us respond to your concerns.
I would like to particularly call attention to this sentence from the blog post:
We have just begun the modernization process and invite you to voice your opinion. We are committed to taking action on customer feedback and remaining as transparent as possible about our future plans.
In this context, it is worth noting that the Creative Cloud provides us with the flexibility to quickly try and address issues and areas that fall within the purview of our shared vision for Dreamweaver.
Thanks,
Preran

Namaste Preranji,
That URL that you posted is broken it should not be "dr eamweaver" but "dreamweaver" I hope that is not a bad omen. (-;

Bug in BLOG Post.aspx

This is a spin off from a previous issue I had but now I think this is a bug and it appears to only be in the Post.aspx view. To summarize, when the exact same web part is added to the POST.aspx page as well as the /Forms/AllItems.aspx page, it
crashes on the first and works on the latter.
To try and keep this short I'll be simple
Initial setup.....
1) Create a Team Site with a contacts app
2) Create a Blog SUB site with a contacts app and a document app
3) In the team site, create a new Site Column that is a Lookup to it's Contact app (based on Last Name Linked Field)
4) In the sub BLOG site, create a new Site Column that is a Lookup to it's Contact app (based on Last Name Linked Field)
5) In the sub BLOG site, add both the Parent Team Site Lookup and the Blog Site Lookup as an "Existing Column" to both the POST and the Document Apps.
so at this point, you should have a blog sub site with a Post app and a Document app that have 2 new columns added: One is the Contact lookup column from the Parent site, the other is the Contact Lookup column from the local Blog site.
Let the fun begin...
6) On the Blog post details page (the page that comes up when you click on the title of an individual BLOG post), add 2 new web parts.... one is the existing "Post" library, which means you would have the same info just in a different view) and
the other web part is the existing "Document" library. For each newly added Web part.... edit the current view and make sure to include the newly added Lookup columns.
7) On the Blog's Document library page (the page that comes up when you view everything in this app), add 2 new web parts.... one is the existing "Post" library, and the other web part is the existing "Document" library (which
is a duplicate of the already existing web part). For each newly added Web part.... edit the current view and make sure to include the newly added Lookup columns.
Results....
What you should see is that the actual "POST" page (/List/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=n) will not even display the original untouched web part. The added Document web part (with the new columns showing) will show and the Contact Linking works. The
second occurrence of the Post Web part (which includes the new lookup columns) crashes and displays an error on the screen.
If you open up the Document Library, you will see the original untouched web part working, and BOTH of the newly added web parts which includes the exact same "Post" + new Lookup columns as above.
... so long story short... the same web part for the same object library with the same display columns works in the _layouts/15/start.aspx#/myDocs/Forms/AllItems.aspx however does not work in the the /_layouts/15/start.aspx#/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx

If you really feel it's a bug, you could join the +Apple Developer Connection+ — the +ADC Online+ category is free, here:
...then you can use this to create a trackable problem report:
...And no, you don't need to be a "developer" to join — just an Apple user who wants to make sure Apple knows there's a bug and have the ability to track its resolution.
Problems with iWeb's blog are a recurring theme on these forums — so you may soon be back with a different iWeb blog problem: Lost all blog entries or all comments or unable to publish, etc. And whether iWeb's blog works well or not is of little concern to Apple as it's only a tiny part of their software repertoire. If you switch to a dedicated blogging platform you're likely to have a better experience. For a success story using a non-iWeb blog hosted on WordPress, see this old thread:
_To blog or not to blog_

Is it possible to link to a specific Wordpress blog post within Muse?

Hey Adobe Muse community,
I'm currently building a site for a client who wants to have full editing capability of his blog posts. He's comfortable with Wordpress, and we've successfully embedded his blog in the Muse-built site. However, throughout the site, there will be references to specific blog posts (that would ideally link to that individual post directly) and he will probably want to promote new posts by being able to send or share the blog post url directly. Using the WP native url isn't really an option as the WP blog has been designed to fit within the Muse site (all redundant menus, call-outs, etc, have been removed), so it doesn't work well as a stand-alone. Additionally, the client doesn't want visitors to be taken away from the site in order to view the blog.
Any help or insight would be most appreciated.
Thanks all and happy holidays,
Liz

you can try using an Arrange Track (though i've found it a bit flaky):

Title and description when sharing a blog post in Facebook

I want to get the title and a piece of description of my blog post when sharing on Facebook and not just a url with no text...

Problem is Matt that this is one of the things the Engineering team are just putting off and having the new web app engine and concept of "Build your own blog" to fix the issues is what is currently being run.
I know I am not the only one not happy with this approach but it is a running trend when reporting issues like with the gallery module not working right.
I am also not a fan of the current operations of bug reports where even it if it a game breaker if you try to use something because it does not work, if you the first or only one or a rare few to notice it and tell them, even in detail it wont get fixed as you know.
You have to wait for a public issue as more people realise it or a beta bug to have people moan about it live to then get fixed. But it makes BC look bad and unless your one of the few partners with a bit of clout with BC it wont get addressed unless a big enough stink is made of it.
I do not know many software developers who run this old approach and from a support stand point, while I know you cant agree or disagree with me on any of this it causes you guys a nightmare.
YOu have issues reproted, you confirm them, they stop someone doing something they need for them or their clients and push and moan at you and its with the engineers and nothing you can do other then up vote it over and over till they finally get round to fix it.
Bug fixing is one of the key things I think thats harming BC right now over new features, tags wrong, math calculation wrong, bugs preventing certain features not being useable for years...
And then new features launched with bugs on top!

Customizing the blog post web part to not show entire entries

I have a blog site, and as you know, the posts web part shows the entire contents of each listed post, rather than one paragraph, followed by a "click here to read more" link. I know that there is no out-of-box functionality for this, because of course,
why would there be? Who needs nice looking blogs? Anyway, I found this on the internet:
http://zabistop.blogspot.com/2009/02/customizing-sharepoint-blog-posts-web.html
It knows what's up, but it's outdated and the code doesn't mesh with what I have. Are there any articles similar to this online? I can't be the first person who thought of this, and doing it from the ground up is not an option. I appreciate any help.

In 2010 you can make the same changes using a similar method.
Open the default.aspx page, in code view click in within the blog area. In the ribbon click on the List View tools >design. Click on Customize XSLT in the Actions panel. When you do that you will be able to see all the code.
Find this line of code <xsl:template name="FieldRef_Note_body.Body" ddwrt:dvt_mode="body" match="FieldRef[@Name='Body']" mode="Note_body" ddwrt:ghost="hide">
Approx line 402. It actually looks like </xsl:template><xsl:template name="FieldRef.... so you will have to place your cursor after the template close and hit enter a few times to make space for the code.
Directly above that line, where you have added spaces, include this code. (I cheated and grabbed this code from another site where we did the same thing - and was able to modify it slightly to work for the blog.)

    <xsl:template name="removeHtmlTagsFromField">
     <xsl:param name="html"/>
     <xsl:choose>
         <xsl:when test="contains($html, '<')">
             <xsl:value-of select="substring-before($html, '<')"/>
             
             <xsl:call-template name="removeHtmlTagsFromField">
                 <xsl:with-param name="html" select="substring-after($html, '>')"/>
             </xsl:call-template>
         </xsl:when>
         <xsl:otherwise>
             <xsl:value-of select="$html"/>
         </xsl:otherwise>
     </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
Next below the line ( should be the next line below the pasted code)   <xsl:template name="FieldRef_Note_body.Body" ddwrt:dvt_mode="body" match="FieldRef[@Name='Body']" mode="Note_body" ddwrt:ghost="hide">
Locate the       <xsl:param name="thisNode" select="."/> and paste the following code:
  
<xsl:variable name="textOnlyDescription">
     <xsl:call-template name="removeHtmlTagsFromField">
         <xsl:with-param name="html" select="$thisNode/@*[name()=current()/@Name]" />
     </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
I have already swichted out the select content with the content that was in the xsl line that renders the body content.
Locate the code ( should be 2 lines down)     <xsl:value-of select="$thisNode/@*[name()=current()/@Name]" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
Comment the code out and replace with the following code:
      <xsl:value-of select="substring($textOnlyDescription, 0, 320)" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
      <xsl:if test="string-length($textOnlyDescription)>320">...</xsl:if>
Change the number to your desired length.
Save your file.
You can revert the file if you ever need to, after its checked in, by right clicking on the page and selecting reset to site definition.
Hope this helps. I plan on doing a post shortly covering this and will have screen shots.

Indexed field num_comments on blog post not updating during incremental crawl

Hi,
Have a webpart that rolls blog posts from MySite and other Team sites.
Everything works fine excepts that the property ows_numcomments (which I have a managed property mapped to) is only updated after a full crawl has run (ie once per night or manually started).
Why is it so and what can I do to make updating during an incremental crawl?
Thanks,
/Owe
Background:
Query resulttype is RelevantResults
TrimDuplicate is true
MPNumComments is mapped to ows_numcomments
Searchstring
"SELECT Title, Author, Path, SiteTitle, MPNumComments, MPPublishedDate FROM SCOPE() WHERE scope='Blogs' AND contentclass='STS_ListItem_Posts' ORDER BY MPPublishedDate DESC";

Can you do full crawl and check this property is getting updated. If not then either incremental crawl is not updating the value or there is some problem with the field configuration.

Can you set up a subscription service so blog posts are emailed to subscribers

I would like to allow people to sign up to receive my blog posts via email (ie like how they can in blogger etc) but can't see anywhere to do this?
Is it possible?
Thanks

I guess it depends who your targets are - do they have any interest in modern forms of social media or is email even a push for them.
To be able to add a blog post about an important update/thing to do and have it emailed out provides both an easy online place for people to look back over the information as well as the immediate provision of information via email, without me having to both email the people the information and also provide an online back up of that information.
In this case it is creating double the work.
I know I check my email several times a day (OK more than that, lol), social media - facebook - a couple of times a week (so I miss a lot), twitter - nearly never.
How have I found out about most things (personally) in the last two years? - via word of mouth or email.
The market I am working with I would say mostly word of mouth (or frustratingly not enough of that) so am hoping to provide the information via the website and encourage people to check the website more regularly but also know when there is important updates available.
I don't want to have to email out the updates and also blog them for posterity.
It doesn't appear every other blogging software company agrees with you as a subscription service is always available and well utilised.
(oh and I will say I don't think business catalyst was the perfect platform for this site, but I inherited it).

Blog post Publish vs Update

This question was asked in February here and answered, but it clearly was never addressed.
When a blog post is saved as a draft, the PUBLISH button becomes the UPDATE button and there is no longer any clear indication to the client of whether their post is public or not.
This includes the post list which does not show the status of a blog post. Is a fix coming?
Best,
Rob

It's a 2-step process. 'Creating pages' does exactly what it says. It's like publishing to a local folder, but with .Mac functionality included. Actual uploading to .Mac only commences when page creation is complete. That's when the progress indicator(s) appear, and it's only then that you regain control of the application.
As to your concern that the process takes a long time when you add 'just a new photo page', you go on yourself to explain why doing this necessitates re-creation of every page in the site — it's precisely because of 'the name of the new page being added to the list of available photo pages in the list at the top of each page'. Once you add a page and include this on the navigation bar, every page which displays the navigation bar has to be updated.

Why java is secured?

hi all
can anybody tell me why java is secured?
any help will be appreciated
thanks

Java doesn't allow direct access to memory like C/C++. Memory access violations are the root cause of 90% (approx, maybe more) of all software bugs/problems. This is also the root cause of many viruses, etc. But there are many more reasons why Java is secure. Read up on Java and security and stuff...

A Copy of My Blog Post - BlackBerry & Mac

One thing is baffling me, why does BlackBerry not make their sync program compatible with Mac?
With a larger market share then ever, and rapidly growing, thanks to Vista. You would think that they would want to cater to those people who are making the switch from P.C. to Mac that are currently BlackBerry users. Instead, they continue to seemingly be set in their ways and only put out software that is windows compatible. Making someone like me wonder is BlackBerry is right for them.
I am now thinking about making the switch to the iPhone. The only downfall with this is that I have been a Verizon customer for going on 9 years now and am very happy with their service and coverage, and have used At&t/Cingular in the past and was not that happy with the coverage. So now I am stuck with the dilemma..Do I continue with the service and coverage of Verizon and deal with BlackBerry's inability to change with the times, or do I migrate over to the iPhone and a service that is less then lustrous.
Now, there are work-arounds for the BlackBerry. But it involves installing VMware Fusion, running Windows XP as a parallel OS. I then have to export all my contacts as a vCard from my Mac Address book and importing it into the windows and then finally using the BlackBerry. And that only resolves the issue of the contacts, not the calendar, the to-do list or the notes.
The wife makes a good point...........is BlackBerry getting a kick back from Microsoft? It sure is the only excuse that makes sense to me.
So tell me, do I stay with BlackBerry and hope that they wise up, or that MissingSync resolves their issues and supports the new MacBook compatibility issues? Or do I make the switch to the iPhone?

Template works on other pages except the blog posts

Hello,
I have several templates that I use with my BC site. But when it comes to the blog post itself, the template does not go into effect and this appears:
"Some files on the server may be missing or incorrect. Clear browser cache and try again. If the problem persists please contact website author."
Sample blog post is Amazing Space X and Elon Musk.
Any information would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!

The page isn't able to locate the CSS / Java files to display your page properly. Check the file path:
For example you have:
http://www.bigdipperworx.com/news/css/site_global.css
When I'm sure you want:
http://www.bigdipperworx.com/css/site_global.css
Check your template and or content holders (wherever you have the paths located).
